Oolite Bulletins

Does anybody have any idea as to how many people one would expect to find on a Coriolis station ? 1km x 1km x 1km... No idea. But I'd compare it a bit to Aircraft Carriers. They are a base for planes and provide all the infrastructure these planes need. Including crew and the infrastructure they ne...

Current screenshots uses a gray diffusemap and the normal/spec map from erh, hence the industrial look ;) Wondering if we could attach a fe...

Do I understand correctly the FPS rate is not only used to render the graphics but resembles the speed of the game loop and therefore the rate for polling the input devices? Render fps and game logic ticks are decoupled, the game can tick up to a minimum of 0.25 sec (which is why you will never see...

Edit: Now I understand! It is an authorization problem but I do not have privileges to fix it.

What step is required to fix this?

I'm happy to press buttons, I just need to know which button to press!

You have PM

Looks like you are running on software 3D acceleration; this framerate is extremely low and carries tremendous input lag, which probably explains why keys need to be presses more than once sometimes. Do I understand correctly the FPS rate is not only used to render the graphics but resembles the sp...

I'm a Java programmer and would be happy to see everything ported to it, maybe I'll try to do that in the near future.

Welcome aboard! We do already have some items covered which you can build on.
OoliteStarter is based on Java and comes with installers for all three operating systems.

Wondering if (if it's not too complex) there might be point in having two sets of Flavours: Flavours (for different games) Issue-solvers (for nobbling specific problems) - for dumb pilots like myself who need aid in combat, for Redspear's mass-lock sufferers, for crash-dockers and lastly for those ...

Process has started. Should be done in about 30 minutes Still shows 0.92 rather than 0.93 in Expansion Manager. Hmmm. The above sequence of events is stunning if you look at the timestamps. The build job got kicked off, but it could not push the result to the website. Kicking it off again to see if...

It would also be nice to be able to select multiple flavours. Say, for instance, I want the beginner's set and the depth set. At the moment, there is no clear way I could achieve that. I can't even see what mods are included in each, so I couldn't go and put the list together myself. If we could be...

There is no login via Oolite.space for uploading new files. It's all done via https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite-expansion-catalog Short version: upload your new OXZ to the wiki, and I'll trigger the update. Probably this deserves a bit more attention: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Publish...

I tested some more and found some interesting effects in OoliteStarter. I also found out that the in game expansion manager is peculiar enough it only detects the installed expansion's version if it has the one very special name. So I adapted OoliteStarter. No more version numbers in expansion filen...

Restart Oolite, but this time go into the "Manage Expansion Packs" menu. Update the expansions list, and then find GalCop Galactic Registry in the list. It should be highlighted in cyan, indicating there is an update ready to install. https://i.postimg.cc/DZT9wWRS/image.png Curiously, Ool...

I don't understand this. The Manifest.plist and in-game Expansions Manager used to work perfectly, as far as I could ascertain. What has changed? The expansion manager has not changed. The expansions have not changed (ok they are compatible). Oolite is quite flexible on filenames in the addons and ...

Thank you phkb for describing the issue. Looking at an older post I'd say Oolite behaves as expected yet the in game manager does not. See THIS OLD POST of mine. Basically you can rename an OXZ to anything you like and the game will still recognize it. However, you will have to do some extra file ma...

I also think Josh suffered from perfectionism, leading him to write then scrap and rewrite then scrape multiple versions of the codebase over time.

...and as the game grew he had to spend more and more time playing to 'test it all'
